I have a friend who speaks Spanish primarily, but since moving to the United States has picked up English and is very fluent. The amazing thing that I have noticed is that she stutters frequently when speaking Spanish, but I have rarely if ever heard her stutter when speaking English. Is this a common situation? What kind of research is out there about this topic and where can I find it?
